    An interesting “conundrum”, alright. Would all come down to attraction, really.

    Raises another question on whether you’d think it was gay to have sex with a fully transitioned male to female, with a brand new gash, breasts and face or if you were to bum a fully transitioned female to male who’s got new “junk”, balls and all, and a beard?

    Which do you think you’d pick? Gun to your head like? And which would you “consider” to be gay?


    If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, i'm happy enough to call it a duck!


    There's nothing turns me off a "lady" quicker than her having a big swinging mickey! I suppose i'm just old fashioned that way:D

    https://www.joe.co.uk/sport/manchester-united-liverpool-geolocate-rainbow-laces-campaign-258662

    Liverpool and Man United aren't putting the rainbows laces campaign on their Arabic specific accounts. I see the merit in doing so as it's a worthy cause but are they not just respecting the culture of their intended target?

    'Negrito' to some English people is offensive in the same way that homosexuality is to another culture. I don't agree with it and like 99% of people here think that it's morally wrong to be offended by homosexuality but we are being told to be tolerant of other beliefs a lot more.

    Nah, phuck soccer clubs for not supporting human rights, especially sexual preference rights.

    Saudi Arabia, UAE, Afgahnistan, Iran , Nigeria ( rarely enforced ),Somalia, Brunei and Mauritania all carry the DEATH PENALTY for persons engaging in homosexual acts.

    It is the responsibilty of big clubs like Liverpool or Man United to pioneer public perception of homosexuality .. as opposed to cowing down to bullshight from undemocratic shítholes in the Middle East. There are millions of homosexuals living in fear of the death penalty in those countries, it is a phucking disgrace.

    Agreed.


    But why is it the responsibility of an english football team to take a stand ffs!


    I'm a pool fan and all this knee taking and rainbow wearing is just commercialism, anyone who can't see that needs their eyes tested.


    I'd actually respect it more if they just came out and said "A black queers money is as good as everyone elses"

    I would rather they used their popularity to influence joe soap soccer clowns throughout the Middle East, to highlight that there is nothing wrong with homosexuality despite what some chunt in a beard and a turban might be lecturing you about.

    They have influence , they should be using it progressively. In particular both Liverpool and Manchester have thrived in the last 40 years from pioneering tolerance of homosexuality, the least they could do is help victims of social injustice in the middle east. They sell plenty of jerseys.

    I would go as far as saying that the English FA should fine clubs who are disguising their support for Gays in the Middle East and other undemocratic shítholes.

    Lefties really have a decision to make when it comes to Islam vs LGBT. They mostly brush it under a massive rug though.

    Are Bohs going to wear the rainbow laces at some point? They’re the “wokie dokie” club du jour, n’as pas?

    In what sense? I mean I am sure there are people on the left that are neither Muslim or LGBT and happy for both groups to exist? Islam (or Christianity or whatever) doesn't really fit in with LGBT, but what's that got to do with the left as such? And what's the left (in the general sense) for to do with wokism and gobshytes (which is what this thread is all about)?

    Id rather they focused on winning football matches and didn't go moralising one way or the other....but i'm just funny that way.

    The left revere and defend all aspects of Islam.

    However. Islam is largely misogynistic and of the countries where the death penalty is in play for bring gay the majority have Islam as their main religion.

    You can’t be socially liberal (or woke) and defend a faith that subjugates women and executes gay men.

    Do you see the level of cognitive dissonance required now ?

    Or hypocrisy tbh.

    They’ve got an “anti-racism” poster up there on Parkgate St. thought that was commendable.

    Do you think you’d stop supporting them over this sort of “wokeness”? I guess Rovers, or Pats, would be the only option as Shels got relegated.

    Nah not really.

    It's possible to accept that other people believe something while also disagreeing with those beliefs.
    It's possible to believe that people shouldn't be persecuted over their beliefs while also disagreeing with those beliefs.
    It's also possible to accept not everything has to be segregated so tightly and these mass generalisations don't really help anyone (except maybe to get a bunch of likes on a thread like this).

    Why would I? I disagree with racism and homophobia. Football should be for everyone.

    Except for the fact that the woke crowd are notorious for having no tolerance for those who have opinions that differ from theirs.

    Sorry, I thought the way you were “going on” that you weren’t a fan of all that leftie, liberal, wokie stuff.

    How was I quote unquote going on? Racism is scummy. I abhor it. That’s not woke to say.

    Seeing racism everywhere and where there is none is gick though.

    Way to demonstrate my last point!

    Besides, the original point was directed at 'the left', implying that anyone holding a slightly left of centre view in anything Is included in the sweeping statement (as opposed to the super woke, which to me is a more extreme category).
    Maybe I'm just too old, but this doesn't make a while heap of sense.

    I'm still none the wiser as to what decision 'the left' have to make.

    I don't think it's that your're too old more that your not with it. The Woke left are not some extreme fringes of the Left anymore, they are fast becoming the mainstream Left as seen with issues such as hate speech laws and diversity quotas and LGBT segregated student accommodation in college campus's (which I think is an appalling idea).

    So to spell it out, how can a stereotypical lefty wokey homosexual admonish any criticisms of Islam (which is the position they take) when they themselves would be thrown off the top of a building in the more fully Islamic countries by the people they are supposedly defending?

    But I understand the mentality of how one could do that because it's the same with all wokey issues, and that is they are motivated not to defend anyone, not primarily anyway, but to attack people for the type of people they perceive them to be for the sake of it and what amuses me is the lengths they will go to to do so to often to comical effect. So back to the hypothetical Wokey homosexual, he will privately agree that the general Muslim attitude to homosexuality is bad but when he sees others calling it out he will admonish them because he has decided anyone who does so is Islamophobic. Get it now?

    Nah I don't think I am too old either.

    Thank you for the explanation, it certainly has been insightful to learn about how some people think.

    That Daniel lambert guy who runs the communist worshiping coffee shop 'bang bang' cafe in phibsboro is the marketing guy for bohs these days, which explains why they've gone so non binary, gluten/lactose free, fair trade hipstery.

    He is a lovely guy, does alot for charities etc so I'll give him praise when it's due, but sweet jesus, all this communist /ussr artwork ****e he adorns the coffee shop with along with the expert level virtue signalling is just way over the top.

    Bohs went from working class boyos to gender fluid vegans like lightning

    They were getting great attendances before the “lockdown”. Them and Rovers split the ex-Man United fans who stopped following them since they went shít.

    I mean, they use the excuses that they prefer the “purer” form of live soccer or that the EPL has gone too commercial but, let’s be honest, they stopped following because their, adopted, team wasn’t doing well.

    Very poor form. Fickle.
